What is ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle's paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants. At Shine Attack, we use only the highest-quality ceramic coating products, ensuring superior protection and an enhanced gloss finish. Our expert technicians apply the coating with precision, providing an even, flawless layer that boosts the depth and shine of your car’s paint. This long-lasting solution makes cleaning easier, protects against water spots, dirt, and other contaminants, and keeps your vehicle looking immaculate with minimal maintenance.

What is the difference between wax and sealant?

Wax is a natural product, typically made from carnauba, that creates a glossy finish and provides a layer of protection against water, dirt, and UV rays. It’s relatively easy to apply but requires frequent reapplication (every 2-3 months) to maintain its effectiveness.

Sealant, in contrast, is a synthetic product designed to provide longer-lasting protection than wax. It creates a durable, chemical bond with the vehicle’s paint, providing a stronger layer of protection against contaminants and UV rays. Sealants generally last 4 to 6 months, offering more longevity and durability than wax, though still requiring periodic maintenance.

What is the maintenance required for paint protection film (ppf)?

PPF is relatively low maintenance. Regular washing and careful drying are essential to keeping the film in optimal condition. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners that can damage the film. PPF also has self-healing properties, meaning minor scratches will disappear when exposed to heat (like sunlight or warm water). Although it’s highly durable, over time it may require professional inspection or replacement, especially if it has been damaged from external forces like rocks or sharp objects.

What is the maintenance required for ceramic coating?

Ceramic coating requires minimal maintenance, but regular washing is necessary to maintain its hydrophobic properties. It’s important to use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the coating. While the coating provides excellent protection against water, dirt, and contaminants, periodic reapplication may be needed if the hydrophobic effect begins to fade over time (typically after 2-5 years).
